Art and Architecture Thesaurus Sourcebook

(Occasional Paper No. 10)

The Art and Architecture Thesaurus Sourcebook is an invaluable resource for those interested in the history, development, and application of the Art and Architecture Thesaurus (AAT), a project of the Getty Art History Information Program. Featuring an extensive annotated bibliography compiled by Carol Jackman-Schuller and reprints of selected key articles, it provides a complete record of publications by and about the AAT since its beginning in 1980. The Sourcebook should aid those interested in using the AAT for indexing and cataloging textual and visual materials and those conduting research in the area of thesaurus construction and controlled vocabularies. It will also be helpful for those researching the history and methodology of the AAT. This reference tool originated as a pilot project of the AAT Advisory Committee, appointed by ARLIS/NA in the early 1980s. ARLIS/NA was among the first endorsers of the project.
